FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
On the DAX front panel are eight control knobs. Included are left and right WOOFER and
MIDRANGE/TWEETER attenuation, left and right WOOFER – MIDRANGE/TWEETER FINE
BALANCE, and left and right RAKE ANGLE knobs.
1) Woofer and Midrange/Tweeter Attenuation:
The woofer may be attenuated in 1 dB steps from 0 to -6 dB by turning the WOOFER knob
counter-clockwise. The numeric indication near the knob will indicate the corresponding level. The
MIDRANGE/TWEETER knob operates in the same fashion.
2) Fine Tuning
If smaller attenuation increments of 0.2 dB are desired, turn the Fine Tuning in the direction of the Woofer
or Midrange/Tweeter symbol to further attenuate that frequency band in 0.2 dB steps. For example, you wish
to attenuate the right woofer -2.2 dB. Simply turn the right (you will see a little R on the far right edge of the
front panel) WOOFER attenuation knob two clicks to the left (counterclockwise) and then turn the right Fine
Tuning knob one click to the left (counterclockwise). Note that the Fine Tuning adjusts either the Woofer or
Midrange/Tweeter levels, not both at the same time.
3) Rake Control Angle:
The RAKE control angle knob adjusts the tonal balance above 1 kHz in a linear fashion. It is easy to
visualize this as a hinging action at various angles. + 1 corresponds to a 1 dB boost referenced at 5 kHz,
hinged at 1 kHz. There are +/- 4 steps, each step is equivalent to a +/- 0.5 dB step at 5 kHz. This feature
allows the user to tone dawn bright recordings or liven up dead listening rooms and vice-versa.
Experimentation is recommended.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SHUT OFF ALL POWER.
The DAX and its power supply have a high quality anodized finish. This finish is durable against most
scratches and rub marks. Fingerprints and dirt are best removed by a glass cleaner or mild soap and water.
